[Rafa]

Super informative and easy. Thanks for not only showing how to do it but also explaining what is happening when you adjust.

Thank you Mr. DIYer. You explainable couldn't have been any better. You did everything slowly and explained everything in simple terms. My wife adjusted her steering this weekend. As I got home, I seen her under the hood. Wondering WTH she was possibly doing I looked. She said she adjusted her steering because it didn't move the wheels as fast as she felt comfortable with. I had to see what she did because shes never done anything other than add fluids or aired up tires. She watches me work on the 78 Silverado sometimes and asks questions because shes interested in it and likes me all dirty n smelling like car she says😏 But getting back to the story, I asked where she learned this and she showed me yer video. Great work Amigo. Keep up the good work and new videos. I'm definitely gonna follow yer lessons. Or at least she will if I'm not around to answer questions. Cheers!

This is very educational on the procedure. Just remember it has a lock nut because it can't be torqued down on it's own or it would be too tight. So your tightness here should be very minimal.

I knew how to do it on my Landy but was never sure how the steering box adjustment worked. Thank you for letting me go to bed a little less uneducated tonight than yesterday. Well explained. Kind regards. Andreas

[guitarplayerlp]

Probably the best instructional video on doing this. Well done

One of the best video ever on this topic. Thank you, Sir.

Note that if it is too tight, it will not return to center after a turn but will keep turning. This can cause a crash if you expected it to return on its own.

Mr Diyer is so intelligent. A great teacher❤

Good video but reason for play some internals may be worn. Proper adjustment is done off vehicle, there are 2 adjustments, both done in different locations on gear, both done with torque wrench, bearing pre-load is one and the adjustment in this video, which is over center adjustment, keeps gear tighter when tires are pointed down road to prevent wandering. These gears usually last a long time, when they get sloppy I would pull gear, tear it down, inspect for wear/ damage and install new seals and adjust on bench to proper pre-loads.
